KILL LA KILL

Dec 08 2024 67 mins

In perhaps our most controversial take yet, we posit that this anime is good, actually. Your tolerance for breast collision physics will factor in whether you agree.

THE SEEP

Nov 24 2024 49 mins

Helpful alien friends take over the world and make everyone immortal and kind of chill, man. It's a metaphor for something or other. Maybe AI, maybe legal weed. Maybe california in general. It doesn't amount to much.

BONUS: SCUM VILLAIN'S SELF-SAVING SYSTEM

Nov 17 2024 79 mins

We have fandom historian and BL expert Naked Bee on to discuss this extremely charming bit of gay metafiction.

AMMONITE

Nov 10 2024 71 mins

We return to Nicola Griffith to get a more measured take on the lesbian space colony genre, written if not in direct response to Daughters of a Coral Dawn then to books like it. (We know this because of a helpful author's note.)

BONUS: PALE FIRE

Nov 03 2024 67 mins

We get to do a literary classic - significantly, an extremely funny literary classic - in the company of the excellent Kat Weaver. A joy.

DAUGHTERS OF A CORAL DAWN

Oct 27 2024 60 mins

Vintage lesbian separatist science fiction from 1984. It's almost charming until the implications set in - since women can't commit sexual assault and men can't not, pederasty for the one and extermination for the other only makes sense.

DAUGHTERS OF CHAOS

Oct 13 2024 65 mins

A lazy, racist, sexist, ahistorical wankfest of a novel. At least we got a podcast out of it.

DAUGHTER OF MYSTERY

Sep 29 2024 64 mins

Come with us to fantasy Liechtenstein for some feel-good classic yuri. The society is high, the stakes are low and the names are terrible.

BONUS: THE SCHOLOMANCE TRILOGY

Sep 22 2024 82 mins

After Ann Leckie brought us Foreigner we decided to invite some other authors whose work we've enjoyed to bring us books to talk about. Jenna Moran has elected to bring us the Scholomance, which is highly entertaining, and silly, and incidentally a highly detailed study on the phenomenon of the tsundere.

SPIRITS ABROAD (JUST THE LESBIAN PARTS)

Sep 15 2024 66 mins

You already know we love Zen Cho, so we decided to do an easy breezy runthrough of the gayer stories in her ever-expanding short story collection.
